I accepted this and saw some spiritual growth in my life. In college I was challenged not only accept God\u2019s forgiveness but to also seek to follow Christ (lordship.) I was involved in Intervarsity Christian fellowship at the time. My older sister died while I was in college. This caused me to re-evaluate life and helped me re-dedicate my life to Christ.<\/p>\n<p>I became interested in missions when I was attending Bible study in high school. I thought it was really great that there were missionaries and I felt that God does command us to \u201cGo\u201d but I didn\u2019t think that I could actually be one of those people. I knew something inside of me was saying that I should do missions work but I felt overwhelmed thinking how I could actually do this. \u201cOnly missionaries can do missions work,\u201d is what I thought.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout high school this desire in me prompted me to go on a couple short-term (7-10 day) trips to the Dominican Republic. After my freshman year in college I realized that I could actually become a missionary. I think that this realization came because (as described earlier) I started to take my walk with the Lord more seriously than ever before. I decided to go on another short-term trip to Samara, Russia. This was a month long trip that was another great experience for me.<\/p>\n<p>During this time I met Sara. We decided to get married knowing that we wanted to formally enter the mission field someday. Our goal was a few years after graduating.<\/p>\n<p>We went for a year to the Czech Republic (with TEAM.) We saw a great need there and continued to feel God\u2019s calling to the mission field. We left after a year wanting to return to the mission field.<\/p>\n<p>It took a few years longer than we expected for us to get back to the mission field, but we saw God&#8217;s faithfulness through the process.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Family:<\/h4>\n<p>Married to Sara Titus. Our kids are Izabela, Samuel, Lucie and Evangeline<\/p>\n<h4>Ministry Focus:<\/h4>\n<p>First, two years of language and culture learning. Then, our goal is to partner with Czech believers to form reproducing communities of people who follow Jesus as King.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Global Alliance of Churches and Missionaries Go to the Nations.
